Botanical Gardens, Kingstown

Built in the late 18th century, Botanical Gardens now stands as one of the oldest botanical gardens in the Western Hemisphere. Originally built to provide medicinal herbs and plants to the military, the garden now provides a clean, natural place for gatherings of locals and tourists alike. Walk the paths yourself, or hire a guide to glean a bit more information about the history of the garden and the plants. You'll find many St. Vincent Parrots within the garden; it's a good place to see one close up. To visit Botanical Gardens and get the most from your holiday in Kingstown, create itinerary details personal to you using our Kingstown holiday planner.

Fabulous gardens! By all means take a guided tour. The smells of the plants and the knowledge of the guide are worth the extra money!

Inexpensive entry fee. Inviting and serene atmosphere. Larger than expected, considering its location. Needs more signage for self guided strolling. There is a strong pitch to direct you to a 'guide'....

Be sure you hire one of the local Botanical Garden guides to take you on a one hour informative talk through the gardens. Their explanations make the visit so much more interesting.

Nice place to take your family. It is the oldest botanical gardens in the western hemisphere. It is also the most visited site locally by tourists and travellers. It also has some of our endangered national bird, the st.vincebt parrot, the amazona guildingi (not sure if I got the spelling right).

Botanical Gardens has always been a place to destress and relax. It's one of the most romantic places in SVG, my cousin's wedding back in 2010 at this garden had romance written all over it and I believe this location is responsible for 80% of that.

After you've been inundated with the commercialism of the locals marketing their wares in Kingstown, grab a taxi and escape to the serene location of the Botanic Gardens. Don't despair when you are assigned a tour guide as they make the low cost of admission, so worth it. They are very knowledgeable and able to tell you in great detail about all the plant life found at this historic location. There is so much to see, so be sure and wear comfortable shoes as you will chalk up some steps, but you won't feel it as you will be enthralled with the beauty and tranquility of this place. Hopefully by the time you visit they will have historic artifacts on display as well so you can learn more about Hairouna and the indigenous people who reside(d) here.

Do not miss to go around this beautiful garden. Hire a guide to understand more about the amazing variety. Go in the morning with a pic nic so you can stay all day after the tour. What a little gem!
